The Tattingstone Wonder The local squire decided he didn't like the look of some cottages when viewed from his seat, so had built a sham church to disguise them. The tower has only three sides, and the trick is revealed when viewed from the other side. The churchification dates from about 1790, a grade II*(star) listed building.
